Streak for the Cash Picks-February 19

There’s plenty of ways to navigate a very full Sunday Streak board. There’s college and professional hoops, soccer, plenty of hockey, and even another golf prop. After watching last week as Wi/Woods busted up my longest streak of the month and took most of the day to do it, I’ll be staying away from the links today. I’d take Left/Keegan but I’ll go elsewhere just so I can get in more than 1 pick for the day. Here’s what I’m looking at:

1:00-Michigan State: State needs the game to retain control of the Big Ten. Although going on the road in conference is never easy and the Boilermakers have been playing better of late, I think Tom Izzo has the Spartans rolling along at such a high level they’ll take care of Purdue. MSU beat them in Lansing by 25, but this game won’t be that much of a blowout. Sparty has won 6 of 7 and looks to keep rollin’ headed towards the end of the regular season.

6:05-Duke by 15+: The Howard pick looks good, but it’s a first-half prop which get dicey sometimes so unless I’m in the red I’ll stay away and wait for Duke-BC.  I know, Duke’s been playing so-so of late. They lost to Miami, were saved by a Rivers buzzer-beater at UNC, and rallied to beat NC State in their last game. My pick here is more against BC than for Duke. The Eagles have dropped 8 of 9, and 4 of those were by 15 or more.UNC, a similar team talent-wise to Duke, beat them by 23 and I think the Blue Devils will cruise to a W in this one.

8:30-Winnipeg Jets: If I’m in the green I’ll stay away, but I’d take the Jets if I had to. Winnipeg’s a good team at home, they just beat Boston on Friday, their offense appears to be clicking more now, and they beat the Avs earlier this year.

Current Streak: W3

record for the Month: 32-12
